Chapter 158: Piccolo's Problem, Cell's Family History

"What are Piccolo and that strange guy talking about?" Krillin looked at Piccolo and Cell who stopped fighting and started talking instead of fighting again. He seemed very confused.

They were some distance away from the battlefield, so as not to be discovered by Cell, because the current killing was not something that people like them with insufficient strength could resist. At such a long distance, of course they could not hear clearly what they were saying.

"Mr. Piccolo's arm... is there really nothing wrong with it?" Trunks asked Krillin in surprise. He didn't know why Krillin and Son Gohan were not worried about him when they saw that Piccolo's arm was like that.

"Don't worry, there's no problem. Namekians have strong recovery abilities. Even if they lose limbs, they can grow them back quickly. It seems that Uncle Piccolo wants to get some information from that monster now." Son Gohan explained to Trunks.

"It's amazing. I didn't expect Mr. Piccolo to have such powerful abilities." Trunks was also amazed.

"Fortunately, it has collected the cells of Frieza and his father. Although Trunks' cells are also good, the Saiyan cells are enough..." Cellpic was still shaking out his information. God knows what he was thinking.

"Then...how did it collect cells? There was no suspicious person present at the time..." Piccolo asked Cell again, and the "it" referred to was Dr. Gero's computer.

"Dr. Gero sent a spy robot to spy on your whereabouts... That robot was smaller than a bee and took the cells away without anyone noticing." When Cell heard Piccolo's question, he said indifferently.

Because the robot is a mechanical creation, it has no breath and it is difficult for people to detect it. This is one of the reasons why Dr. Gallo was able to successfully collect the cells of so many soldiers.

"Look, it appears. It will input the situation here into the computer. Maybe it comes for your cells..." What surprised Piccolo was that Cell actually pointed out the location of the robot directly to Piccolo.

Piccolo looked in the direction Cell pointed, and sure enough, he saw a bug-like robot flying nearby.

"Damn it! It's actually this kind of thing!" Piccolo roared in anger and destroyed the little robot with a gas bomb.

"Hmph... There's no point in destroying him now... The necessary cells have all been collected, and the research has begun." Cell said nonchalantly. Cells like the Saiyans, Namekians, or Frieza and his sons had already been collected, and the other cells were no longer important.

"Actually, I was created 24 years later," Cell continued.

"Impossible! Dr. Gero's research institute was destroyed by us a long time ago, how could you be created again?" The current Piccolo did not know what Trunks said, that the impact on this time and space would not change things in other time and space.

"The computer is in the basement of the research institute, and no one has ever withdrawn there." Cell said mockingly.

"Is that so... After coming to this era, you started from an egg and evolved to your current form. Why did it take three years?" Piccolo asked puzzledly.

"I have to stay underground for three years before I can grow up." Cell answered whatever he asked, not understanding the truth that villains die because they talk too much [Although, in this story, the one who died because of talking too much is the protagonist. 】

"Stay underground for three fucking years, isn't that what a cicada is?"

"Okay, now... it's my turn to absorb your life energy." Cell didn't want to delay any longer. The sooner he got rid of Piccolo, the more confident he would be in dealing with No. 17 and No. 18.

"Wait a minute, I have one last question. Why did you come to this time and space from the future?" Seeing that Cell was getting a little impatient, Piccolo took the opportunity to ask the last question.

"Just absorbing human life energy is not enough for me to evolve into a complete form. I must synthesize two important special life forms... The computer shows that those two special life forms are Android 17 and Android 18 created by Dr. Gero." Cell said directly, stating the conditions required for his evolution.

"What?!" Piccolo couldn't help but exclaim.

But Cell's words surprised Piccolo greatly. Such powerful No. 17 and No. 18 were actually just designed by Dr. Gero. They were the materials needed for Cell's evolution. How powerful would Cell be after becoming a perfect form?

"It is for this reason that I came to this time and space. I don’t know what the future of my world will be like, but No. 17 and No. 18 were killed by Trunks... But fortunately, Trunks has a time machine. I killed him and came to this era in the time machine. My goal is to find No. 17 and No. 18." Cell revealed his past bit by bit.

"Why did you choose this era?" Seeing that Cell was still willing to continue talking, Piccolo continued asking.

"I don't know, it was Trunks who set the time, I just pressed the start button." Cell continued to answer, completely unaware that Piccolo had just said that this was the last question.

"Maybe Trunks wants to tell us that he is the one who can destroy the androids of the future, so he deliberately set the time to this era..." Piccolo thought to himself.

"The computer also shows... once my form evolves to its complete form, I will gain unimaginable power!" Cell said with great anticipation and pride.

"Why? What do you want to do with such great power?" Piccolo asked puzzledly. He wanted to find out what was the purpose of Cell becoming powerful, to see if he had any enemy that he could not deal with. Could this enemy become their ally, or be a new enemy.

"What? Isn't it a bit boring to ask this question? The instruction received by the computer is to create the most powerful life! It may be because the blood of Saiyans, Frieza, Piccolo and others flows in my body! So I hope to become even stronger..." Cell said proudly when he heard Piccolo's question.
